I have been wanting a dark room for decades and should probably just go ahead and make one. There is room for both types of photography. 2 weeks ago I took my Canon A-1 with motordrive and my 50D to my grandson’s soccer games. He had 2 and I shot one game with each camera. I found with the 50D I just fired away with no care in the world and had to go through a LOT of shots to get the ones I liked best. With the A-1 I was much more selective with my shots. I am taking the roll to the lab today and I’ll know next week how they turned out. And that is one of the things I like about film, anticipation. Bottom line is you can get great photos with either medium, shoot what make you happy.
